behind game
We've got to put this game behind us.
best game legitimate san shot team took win
We had a legitimate shot (at a title). We would have been the best team in the East, and (Detroit) took San Antonio to Game 7. That could have been us. I wouldn't say I feel guilty. I just feel I have to win a championship.
coming energy games home ready road san sure
There are going to be a lot of road games coming up. I'm sure San Antonio is going to be ready for us, so we've got to come in there with a lot of energy and confidence. We're on the road this whole playoffs, so that's where we've got to win. We've got to make it our home away from home.
basketball both ends felt finish floor games good last playing
We just have to see what we did back then, and see what we're doing now. We're going to have to finish the last games off strong. I felt pretty good out there. Right now we're not playing both ends of the floor each game, only sometimes.
bit bother couple fatigue games
It's going to take me a couple of games to get into shape, but I'm a fighter. I'm not going to let a little bit of fatigue bother me.
came deserved games good hard tough win worked
It was good to get a win. All the games are tough right now. We came here to get a win. We worked hard and deserved to win tonight.
bit bounce deal games happened putting team winning
It's happened to me before. It wasn't, like, the first time. I'm a little bit (more) able to deal with it and bounce back and be that much better. . . . I'm not going to think about putting the team on my shoulders. We're just going to think about winning games the same way we've been winning games.
confidence game guys home needed team
We needed (a win) bad. One thing I like about this team is guys have confidence in each other. This was another test, but we were at home this time. I'm in better shape. This game was more comfortable (for me) and it's going to get better.
game good missing stuck team win
After missing 73 games, the team really stuck in there. The good thing about it is, we are not 100 percent, but we really wanted to win this game and we did.
career friday game happened hopefully support talked win
I talked to Stu Jackson, which was encouraging. There have been a lot of things that have happened in my career which (were) unfair. I support my teammates, and hopefully they'll win the game, and I'll be back Friday (for Game 3).
adjusting early expect felt games hit ready surprised
I was just ready, ready for anything. I was surprised (at early success). I didn't expect to hit my first three. But I felt good, even early in the day I felt good. I've got to do a little more adjusting to the game. It will come with more games played.
bad both chances check couple ends felt game playing tape today watch weeks
Today it was just a bad game. I'm just going to watch the tape and see what we did wrong. I felt pretty good. This game was a lot of errors, I just have to check it out. We had a lot of chances to still win. We've got to get back to how we were playing a couple of weeks ago. We're not playing both ends (of the floor) every game, only sometimes.
alone celebrate coming game leave maybe win
We've got to take this win and maybe celebrate for 10 minutes, (then) leave it alone because there's a new game coming up on Sunday.
miss missed thousand
I've said it a thousand times. Referees miss calls. They missed that one, too.
